    Hi guys, I was just wondering what is your choice of method when installing the trd pro fogs or any other type of fog lights? Looking for the most convenient, easiest, and less time consuming installation.

    So far this video seems to be the fastest, but I do notice the wheel fender is already removed. Mines are still intact. Will it be a problem if I remove the pins, plugs, or fasteners? Will they still hold if I put them back?

    Or this guy installs it from the top of the hood, working his way down? It does seem a bit harder and more time consuming, probably use some help.

    Appreciate any feedback, thanks guys!

    I was able to do mine without removing anything from the truck. I went in from the top of the hood. There's definitely a lot of things to maneuver your hands around but I found it to be a pretty easy install.

    You can also remove the grill to get easier access. Two screws and a couple clips to remove.

    if you're still running stock lift wheels and tires, its probably easier to go through the wheel well.

    I second this, I installed mine by just popping the hood and reaching down.

    Yeah still running stock setup, wheels and tires. So removing the wheel well is much easier? I know it's just a few plugs, but is there a video out there that shows you how to remove? Sorry I'm noob

    I like this idea as well too, like you said without removing anything from the truck to install

    You’ll pull back on the wheel well. Removing the whole thing isn’t necessary.
